Child endangerment includes violence among children, neglecting their basic needs (like food, shelter, and education) and actions that may bring abuse; even if there is no physical injury occurred. Some specific laws that prohibit these types of abuse depend on circumstances from state to state. Child endangerment laws encompass prohibitions and penalties that can lead to conviction. Most jurisdictions states that violating child endangerment laws can cause criminal penalties and civil actions that can spare violators from having custody of their own children.

Child endangerment is a criminal offense that involves children to be in a volatile state or dangerous situations. Child endangerment is different from child abuse. In child abuse, it involves direct harm to children.  Both child endangerment and abuse carries similar penalty in United States judiciary.

Most of parents and other guardian of children violate child endangerment laws without realizing that their manner is unlawful.

In reporting statutes, which depends from state to state, require that some professionals must report suspected child abuse, whereas others, such as neighbors, are entitled but actually not required to do so.

Some statutes define child abuse; in some states, officially recognized physical abuse can only defined when a child suffers a specific type of injury, whereas in other states, any serious injury which is not accidental in nature can be considered as abuse. In addition, sexual abuse of children is determined even there in no presence of injury; but any type of sexual manner performed on a child can be considered abuse. In relation, state statutes classify child abuse as any neglect of a child that places the child at danger, heedless of whether the child is actually injured.

Before making actual report of emotional abuse of a child, state statutes specifically require to search for actual harm. But other statutes designate procedures that investigate child abuse cases, it conclude whether a report of abuse is sustained, intervening to protect an abused child from further harm, and maintaining records of child abuse reports.
